Hibernating a VFC400-USB
When hibernated, the logger’s power consumption is near zero. Hibernating a logger is
useful for conserving battery life when the logger is not used for extended periods.
If you hibernate the logger for longer than a week, please remove the AAA batteries
from the logger to avoid them leaking.
VFC400-USB loggers are placed into Hibernation using Control Solutions VTMC by
clicking
Hibernate
from the
LogTag
menu.
Initially, the display shows
SLP
on the display until
you remove the logger from the USB port.
A hibernated logger has no active display, however
a button press will wake the logger up briefly. The
display will show
l
the text
NOT READY
; and
l
the battery capacity of the AAA batteries (if
the batteries have been removed, the empty
symbol
will be shown).
After a few seonds
SLP
will be shown on the display,
and the display will turn off.
The logger reverts to being hibernated.
A hibernated logger cannot be reactivated via the buttons - it must be
reconfigured with Control Solutions VTMC.
